In album view there's panel with letters on the right that allows you quickly go to desired artist. But anything that written not in Latin characters is put into "#" section. For me and other people who has a lot of Cyrillic-named artists in their library this creates problems with quick finding desired artists - all of them are grouped under single right-bar entry.

There's a way that solves it, I've seen it in some apps. Non-Latin names can be transliterated and sorted together with Latin. Transliterated name is used only for sorting and isn't displaying. Maybe it's also possible for other writing systems.

Thanks for the suggestion. There is also another related (but very old) requirement #108.

But if this "transliterated sorting" is used elsewhere and it makes sense for the users, then it would sound like a less cumbersome solution. I have a feeling that it probably doesn't fit so well to every possible writing system in the world, but probably there are others in addition to Cyrillic where it could work.
